Any early 40 year old riders...

Want to know what you do to keep fit. I lift weights 3x a week and cycle about 100-120km.

I am 44 yrs old and started cycling over 18 months ago and looking at continual improvement.

I recently joined a cycling club and realised how unfit I am compared to the regular riders.

Any advise would be welcome.

Turbo,

I commute ~40km/day Mon-Fri, Sat race, Sun ~80-100kms to recover. Gym 3 times per week stretching,
core stomach, weights for squats/lunges, light weight for upper body.

I am 45 and similarly, started racing. You could read books such as Cyclist Training Bible by Joe
Friel to improve your training. Persevere your fitness willl improve.

Cheers Kevin

Hi,
